Privacy and Atlantic water frontage are the two most sought after criteria in the Cape Breton real estate market, particularly for buyers from other countries and continents. It is increasingly difficult to find one and a real challenge to find both. But this secluded peninsula on the southern shore of Cape Breton Island is a perfect example of privacy and it has approaching 1,800 feet of waterfront - and its own private beach!
The photographs, aerial map, and government property outline show quite clearly just how private this lovely property is. A headland presently covered by a forest and accessed down a long private drive easement, the opportunities for developing this peninsula are as broad as one's imagination. Whether a year-round home complete with all comforts, and overlooking the Atlantic directly in front of the building, or perhaps a summer retreat, hidden amongst the firs; the possibilities are numerous.
The fact that shopping for groceries, hardware and most essentials is only ten minutes away removes the suggestion that one is truly remote here. Port Hawkesbury and national chain stores are only about 25 minutes away, while Sydney's airport is perhaps an hour away.
And yet return to your Atlantic oceanfront preserve, and all thought of urban rush, politics and terrorism become as distant as a dream. |
